Abstract

This invention provides a mooring tower for a tethered balloon, used to secure the nose tether of a tethered balloon. The tower includes: a tower body comprising a base and a tower section rotatably connected to the base, the tower section extending horizontally or vertically; and a nose plug assembly disposed at the end of the tower section. The nose plug assembly includes a nose plug fixing seat, two clamping rods disposed on the nose plug fixing seat, and a driving mechanism. The side wall of the nose plug fixing seat has a first opening, and the bottom wall of the nose plug fixing seat has a second opening. The nose tether passes sequentially through the first opening and the second opening. The two clamping rods are positioned corresponding to the first opening. The driving mechanism drives the two clamping rods to clamp the tail of the nose tether. The tethered balloon mooring tower provided by this invention aims to solve the problems of large size and poor flexibility of traditional mooring towers.
